Grant r.p.t. Orthotics for Neck Pain QUESTION: Telma, I have trouble understanding how you could possibly recommend recommend orthotics for neck pain. What do my feet have to do with my neck? This is an excellent question, People have little little trouble understanding how orthotics can help with feet problems, knee problems or back problems. problems. It is a bit more of a stretch to understand how an orthotics can help with a neck problem. A patient's body in some ways is like a house. If you have a window that is warped on the second story the first thing you do is replace that window. In the patient's case, the first thing often done is to treat the neck. If the pain only gets somewhat better better with the treatment or in a case of the house if the warped window comes back, then you need to take a further look to see If there Is a foundation problem. Maybe a crack In the foundation Is causing the walls to lean and therefore therefore producing a warped window. It is the same thing in a patient's case, A lot of people have come to me after getting their neck treated olse- where and their neck pain has not resolved. In a computerized gait analysis analysis their gait typically shows minimal heel strike. The heel strike being the first of three phases of a normal gait. Patient's with neck pain who can be helped by orthotics have very little little imprint of this phase. We call it decreased rear foot loading. In other words, when you look at their scan they show very little weight bearing on the heel strike phase of gait and excessive weight bearing in the push-off part of the gait. The question to ask is what this has to do with one's neck. A person who tends to push-off with their toes and has a poor heel strike tends to walk more on their toes. These people will have a forward forward head posture and/or a forward tilting spine. The gait is reflecting that change in their feet. If you have neck pain, especially longstanding pain, orthotics may be a consideration for you.
